G.I. Joe & Micronauts Movies Get Transformers Inspired Writers Rooms

This summer, Paramount and Hasbro put together a team of writers to come up with new ideas for the Transformers franchise, which yielded at least three new movies that are in development. Deadline reports that the studio is continuing this writers room experiment with two more franchises, G.I. Joe and the upcoming Micronauts. Akiva Goldsman, who supervised the Transformers writers room, is now set to come up with ideas and oversee both of these new writers' rooms as well.

It isn't known how this new writers room will affect G.I. Joe 3, which doesn't have a release date set at this time. Back in April, Paramount brought on Aaron Berg to rewrite the script, which had previously been worked on by Evan Daugherty (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) and Jonathan Lemkin (Shooter). We reported earlier this year that D.J. Caruso was in talks to direct, but it isn't known if he is still involved. We also reported last month that a possible crossover between Hasbro properties G.I. Joe 3, Transformers and Jem and the Holograms may be possible, but nothing has been confirmed.
